_______________________________________________ asana flow series ______________________________________________________________________________________

Asana means any position assumed by the body in a yoga practice.

It is recommended that a physician or other qualified health provider be consulted before beginning this yoga flow.  Always seek the advice of your health provider with any questions you may have if you have a pre-existing medical condition.

You should understand that when participating in this yoga flow there is the potential risk of injury.  When you engage in this yoga flow, you agree that you do so at your own risk and will respect your body and breath.  You also agree to assume all risk of injury to yourself, and agree to release "elements ... the yoga studio", from any and all claims, known or unknown.

Be kind to yourself when you practice yoga.  Go slowly and listen to your body and rest whenever needed.  Your body knows what it can do.  Listen to it.

This asana flow series is a 10 - 20 minute flow and is not a full 90 minute yoga practice.  You may use this flow to accompany your already existing yoga practice.  Previous yoga experience is assumed.

Enjoy and "find the peace within".

_______________________________________________ screening mammography ______________________________________________________________________________________

     

A mammogram is an x-ray test of the breasts (mammary glands). Mammography is used to screen for breast problems, such as a lump, and whether a lump is fluid-filled (a cyst) or a solid mass.  A mammogram is done to help screen for or diagnose breast cancer. Many types of small tumours can be seen on a mammogram before they can be felt by a woman or her health professional. Cancer is most easily treated and cured when it is discovered in an early stage. Mammograms do not prevent breast cancer or reduce a woman's risk of developing cancer. However, regular mammograms can reduce a woman's risk of dying from breast cancer by detecting a tumour when it is more easily treated, usually at Stage 1 or Stage 2.

Screening mammograms work best if repeated regularly. The BC Cancer Agency medical experts recommend that women aged 40 to 79 have a screening mammogram at least every two years.  Please remember to schedule your appointment regularly.
